Moneyback Debit Cardds

Hi

I am currently looking for a new current account. I'm ideally looking for moneyback debit accounts. I know that Halifax offer an account; 1% on the first £10,000 [on purchases] But are there any other accounts. I already hold an Egg Money account.

Thanks in advance

    Hlaifax is the only one to have cashback on debit cards. You have to pay in £1000 a month to qualify and it pays 1% upto £10000 on most spending.

    I use it for house hold stuff like shopping, petrol, meals out etc and have accrued £48 in 9 months. I calculated it was better to have the cash back rather than a high interest account as the cash back still worked out higher.

    Better still, do all your spending on a Capital One 4% cashback card, and leave the cash in the high interest account. Best of both worlds. Make sure you pay the credit card bill in full each month.
  • Trouble is Capital one are very choosy about who they give their 4% CC card to. Even people with good credit records get turned down. Also the 4% is only for a short period after which it goes down to 1%. Also, some places charge a CC surcharge (eg travel agents) thus wiping out any cashback, but with the cashback debit card there is no surcharge.
